This model is the Ball and it features a long, narrow spout that allows a barista to smoothly pour hot water exactly where it's needed most. Constructed of an elegant looking stainless steel, the Ball has a modern ball shape and holds 700ml (approx. 24 ounces) of water. It works on a variety of stove-top heat sources and it's dishwasher safe.  Also, it includes a stainless steel mesh insert for tea preparation.  In other words, it's a multi-purpose kettle!

How does it compare to the Buono? 

As you know if you know me, I'm not a huge fan of Chinese-made products.  Obviously it's impossible to avoid that entirely but the bulk of our products are not made in China.  The ones that are are made in factories owned by European or American companies who own and operate those factories with the same standards that they would have domestically.  We feel good about these Paico kettles.  

Here are a couple testimonials....

"This kettle works great for pour over, it is just as adequate to the Hario kettle but a great deal cheaper. I recommend it if you are looking for a good kettle." - from James

"I use this kettle as a substitute for the Hario Buono while doing coffee pourovers. The spout is even slower than the Buono. It works great for a fraction of the price!" - from Melanie
